I trust that he did. My only concern is that they're just using him to deflect his vote, making it 4 vs. 4. Then if Dayman can sway one of us, they automatically have the majority without needing Dnash's vote and leaving him out of the vote, and they can freely blindside anyone.

However, if they really did all vote Aaron, it's an easy way to waste idols and sever any possible working relationship with Dayman if he's telling the truth.

The first scenario seems unlikely as it would take a lot of thought and planning. But after talking to Dayman, who clearly puts in a lot of thought and planning, it's possible.

Whatever we do, it's the right decision if we get it right and the wrong decision if we get it wrong. We won't know until the results are posted, though.

Aaron is likely going regardless, unless one of us plays an idol for him, and unless they're tricking us. But most likely Aaron is going. So it really doesn't matter who we vote for. Voting Ryan will make Shy Guy happy but it will also give Ryan an advantage, voting Aaron will probably give us both another idol clue (unless someone was sneaky in those first tribals) and at least temporarily put us on better terms with Dayman - if we vote with them, they have reason to vote with us the next 2 votes before backstabbing us will give them an advantage.

I told him Dnash flipped back to them and voted Aaron, which is true. And that if we all vote Ryan, we'll give Ryan an advantage. He had already voted Ryan, but voting Aaron keeps Ryan from getting an advantage. Assuming this is all as it seems. Should have results in half an hour or so. I'll be back later.
